Not sure on that, but could very well be a license thing. Whilst I'm
an NKP, I'm only a volunteer and don't work for Novell :)

Yes, you can just add the iso, dvd, plain rpm etc as a repository via
YaST -> software -> software repositories, press the 'add' button and
point to the location. I use the iso images for this sitting on a
local NAS.
Note if you do decide to add the SDK, use, the Add-On-Products in YaST
so it will pull through the update repositories.
